Ok, I have 550 in Synth, when I make grade 9 Bonded Attachments, then try to RE them, I do not get any MK-9 slot components. Last week when I was RE'ing these same Bonded Attachments, I was getting the slot components on every single RE. Now, I've RE'ed about 40 Bonded Attachments, and I am getting the crystals, thread and fragments, but I've gotten 0 slot components. I made some pieces of blue armor that was still green on the list, so figured it would be grade 9, and when I RE'ed those pieces, they did give me the slot components, every single time, plus the normal mats. It's only with the Bonded Attachments that I'm not getting slot components on RE's anymore. Just to clarify, these are newly made Bonded Attachments, not ones I've had since I RE'd all of those last week. And I am RE'ing them on the same character that made them, I RE them just about as fast as I churn them out.

You want your crit at around 37% or so. Your crit multiplier should be in the high 60's.

Just to update, I made some armor with synth, and when I RE those, I do get the kit components, get 1 every single time. But still get 0 when trying to RE bonded attachments. I know for a fact that RE'ing bonded attachments used to give a kit component every single time too, so looks like they may have slipped this nerf in without saying anything?

I was RE'ing bonded components, which is what I was RE'ing before too.

Is the loot table for RE broken? I'm trying to get augment kit components and I've RE'd 22 items so far and not a single component so far. The other day when I was RE'ing, I was getting 1 component on every single RE. What's going on?

Not sure on Taris, but Ilum is in the Clone Wars, so it's canon for sure.

It would be too much to hope that Old Republic becomes canon, although with the inclusion of hammerhead ships in Rebels and Kylo Ren's lightsaber being based on an ancient design from the "Scourge of Malachor", maybe they are slowly making it all canon, piece by piece.

Wonder if she's a distant ancestor to one Ahsoka Tano?

I don't want to read all the way through this thread, what's the last ETA heard?

Really? So they take away his one-shot kill move, but don't give him the standard tank skill set? Well that sucks, nevermind then. Looks like HK-55 will be the better companion of the two.

Well, when it comes to companions, the only differences now are in their personalities lol. I think the HK's are different color also. If you're looking for differences in gameplay, well sorry, there are none anymore. Same with all companions. You can make any companion a healer, a dps or a tank and they will all perform the same. It all comes down to influence level and presence now. So really the difference that makes the two HK's unique is going to be their personalities, just as with any other companion now.

Actually, the High Dark Order Lightsaber is the exact same model as Kallig's Lightsaber. I have both and have compared them. Unfortunately I don't remember where I got that saber at this time, but I'm pretty sure it was one of the later missions in the game, like Makeb or something. Also, people have been reporting that the mask is now available on the level 8 gear vendor, it's just not called Kallig's Countenance or whatever anymore, but it is the same model.

Not a bug, they are no longer available. All missions now just give the basic crystals or some green gear. All classes that used to have orange gear as a reward no longer receive that gear. As a side note, there is a mask on the Level 8 gear vendor that is nearly identical to Kallig's, however there is not a lightsaber that matches Kallig's that I am aware of at lower levels.

What are you talking about? What companion do you get if you have KotOR installed? I've never heard of this.

Personalities are different too. HK-55 still uses the term "meatbag" whereas HK-51 calls them "undesirables" Also HK-51 was programmed to be a full assassin droid, and HK-55 was programmed to be a bodyguard.

Ah! Thank you for the clarification, I didn't even realize that there were PvP specific relics, I was looking on the GTN for relics and not the PvP vendors. That was me being a dummy lol, I should have guessed since there are PvP specific ears and implants too, duh. So far I've been doing pretty decent in wz's but I've only done unranked ones, and honestly I think I'm usually up against other PvP noobs also, that and my burst damage just catches them off-guard or something lol. That Dulfy guide is new, when I last looked they didn't have one for light sorcs yet, that's the only reason I posted this to begin with. Glad there is now a guide up, thanks a bunch

Pretty sure that all Heroic missions are weekly, aren't they?

Just to make it clear for everyone, even though it has been stated for over a month now that this is how it is, if you subbed by Jan 11, you will get HK-55 as a companion at the release of the next chapter, which arrives on Feb 11. So you still have a month to wait for him. Also the next chapter is NOT the special HK chapter, it's the Anarchy in Paradise chapter. The HK chapter doesn't arrive until at least August, and If you're not subscribed from Jan 11 - Aug 11 (I think it started yesterday, it may have been Dec, but correct me if I'm wrong), you won't get it. Even missing one day sometime in June means you will miss out on it. They haven't actually said when the chapter will be released, but based on the sub time, it definitely won't be until August. I'm thinking it will be like a month later though, as is the case with the HK companion.

Actually, I was just looking in my cargo hold at all the sabers I've collected from missions, and I noticed that the High Dark Order Lightsaber is the exact same model as Kallig's saber, even down to the color and red dot at the end of the hilt. Both are orange modifiable. I don't remember what mission I got it from though.

Wow, I didn't know these were no longer available, I'm so glad I saved them then, I never use them and they just sit in my cargo hold, but now that I know they are going to be even more rare, I may use them some now.

Awesome, I think I will try to stack mostly Crit then, but keep some Alacrity. Reading other posts, I'm seeing that Accuracy is useless really so I'll try to swap those out when I can. The relics are only used for extra stats right, their bonus doesn't work at all? Cause I have the normal Serendiptious Assault and Focused Retribution ones, which are both Alacrity I believe, should I swap one out for Crit you think? Also if you don't mind me asking, which Utilities do you think work best? Right now I'm using Sith Defiance, Tempest Mastery and Empty Body for the skillful, Emersion and Conspiring Force for the masterful and Force Mobility and Corrupted Barrier for the Heroic. *EDIT* I just realized that the Alacrity on both of my relics is actually from augments, the relics themselves only have End and Pow I believe. Looking at other relics, they all seem to have the same base stats, only the Use / Equip is different, but they all say that those abilities cannot be used in PvP wz's, so I'm wondering, is there even a point to getting a different relic? I mean, I could always just buy crit augments and swap that for the alacrity ones, right?

Are there any good guides for a 4.0 Lightning PvP spec? I'm mainly looking for which utilities and gear would be best. I looked through a Madness guide, but I noticed that a couple of utilities might be different between them, since Lightning would take advantage of things like Force Mobility more than Madness would. Also, I'm not sure if I should focus on Crit or Alacrity, and if I actually need any of the Accuracy enhancements that come with the PvP gear.

For everyone having the issue with companions not completing their stories, if you've finished your class story missions and your companions don't have any more missions but aren't complete yet, open your mission window. Look on there for any missions that are blank and highlight them, They should say "Unassigned" in the descriptions and stuff. Abandon those missions, especially any that are under Companions (also abandon any of the blank ones under your class story, as those may cause problems with that later on as well). This will cause your companions to get their missions back and you may continue on until finished. I've done it on all of my characters that had missing companion missions and it's worked everytime.

Well, yes, that is more accurate lol. You are correct. My point was that it wasn't based on influence at all anymore, so giving them gifts wouldn't do anything.
